I've admired the style of this gentleman, as shown in the lower picture, in a previous post. I'd be happy to look this stylish in middle age. However, I'm not convinced by the white sports shoes in the first picture. I love the white chinos, shirt and pocket square highlighting the pumpkin orange linen blazer - that's true style - but wouldn't a pair of canvas brogues (see below) set off this look more successfully?
I showed the first picture to my daughter who is in her early twenties and, for me, a bit of a style guru. Seeing the top of the picture she purred in admiration. As I then scrolled down the purr became a gasp of horror as the trainers appeared. Please let me know what you think.
Wouldn't these these Trickers white leather brogues have looked better? Or maybe vintage white canvas brogues, if you can find them, as worn years ago by the Royal Navy in tropical climes.
